Beat of His Heart

As you lay against me

Pressing your chest against mine

Our arms wrapped around each other

Our legs intertwined

I press my head against your chest

And I pray to hear your heart

The everlasting music

I wish would never part

As I hear that wonderful thud

All the memories rush back to me

A vivid picture is painted

Our love, is all I see

The day we first met

And I splashed you in the rain

You didn't know what to make of me

You probably thought I was insane

Or the day we first kissed

Oh how I had waited so long

But as our lips connected

I knew where I belonged

That night I first told you I loved you

We were a hundred miles apart

But it made no difference to me

For I felt closer to you at heart

Or when you wrote me that poem

You said it's the least I can do

I can still remember that day

You said you loved me too

That day I first went to your house

And we just laid there together

I knew that I wanted to be with you

Always and forever

Then there was the day

You asked me to be your wife

To be with you forever

To spend with you the rest of your life

I instantly said yes

And I'll say it a thousand times again

Because I love you more than anything

Even more than I did then

All these memories

Come back to me with a start

Every time you hold me

And I hear the beat of your heart
